Is there an API call we can use to authenticate with SAML based application? We want to be able to authenticate users with SAML application without using a browser. Is there an API call we can use to perform SAML authentication?

Hello @User165962405017476792 (Customer) Thank you for reacting out to our Community!
There is such API call, however this is an Early Access Feature which can be enabled from the Admin console. If you do not see this feature there, please reach out to your Account executive to have this enabled. Please see doc for this below:

Paul, thank you for your response. Looks like this API call requires a stateToken parameter. Where do I get the value for this parameter? Also is this feature supported with Identity Engine?
